Mystery Hotel 1912 ????????

[indiapaleale]

When I first saw this picture, I thought Ah Ah.....it looks just like the old Queens Hotel outside New Street Station in Brum......although I know it isn't that one.....but I would be pretty sure that it is a railway hotel in a big city. I will have a Google for railway hotels.

AttaGirl, Indi...I started to look through some shots but my eyes got tired...
I found a Railway Hotel in Sheffield that was modernized but it would be a major streeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetch...Could be that if the building has been modernized, we'll need some eyes that remember it in this old form.

Sheffield may only refer to the residence of Mr. Buxton in 1911... I think the clothing looks pretty good for the date...hey, let's get PrueM in here...I'll go nudge her...She's works with with photos too...J.J.

   Thanks JJ - got your PM and came rushing across to have a butcher's! 

Clothes are perfect for 1911/1912.  I would say it's GRV's coronation.

No idea where it is though - gorgeous building but!

Has anyone tried researching the Coat of Arms or whatever it is on the part of the building to the left at the top?  I know a lot of buildings in Glasgow have the Glasgow Coat of Arms on them, so I think if someone can get a clearer image than I was capable of, it might be a really important clue.

Here is the plate replicated using the Sheffield coat of arms. does anyone think that there is a similarity?

Looks good at the top Denn, but the bottom doesn't match does it
